Fox News
Vandals targeted Philadelphia's Vietnam Veterans Memorial in recent days, causing significant damage, caretakers said.
"It just seems that for every two steps forward we take, these thugs and miscreants set us back three steps," he said in a statement. "The PVVM board was planning to take on a number of maintenance projects, including the repair of dangerous and severely damaged walks in the area of the Memorial. That will need to be put on hold."

The damage includes destroyed light fixtures, ripped-off medal medallions and skate guards. Damage to the marble is still being assessed.
The incident occurred sometime within the past four or five days, Williamson said.
